Has anyone ever heard of structural issues as a result of a full wall slide?  They have been around for years.  I thought the same thing 12 years ago when I first saw one, but never have I heard of an issue.
The only exception may be the Lifestyle 5th wheel that had a full wall slide, and they dropped it when they abandoned their square tube frame and went to the standard Lippert I-beam frame and 2 years later closed shop. I don't think the change was due to structural problems, I think they just couldn't afford to keep making them that way and gave a last ditch effort to try to make 5th wheels like everyone elses, but it was too late.
